This change request is in response to the terms of agreement for approval. Privacy Act information is included. This is an exploratory study to gather data from a diverse and targeted convenience sample to better understand factors or groups of factors that may influence violence perpetration that occurs within adult intimate partner relationships. The study is the first component of a larger research agenda that will and is intended to inform the next phase identifying latent classes of intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrators. For this exploratory study, the focus is gathering extensive data from the diverse convenience sample across multiple domains (e.g., attitudes, perceptions, personal experiences, victimization, etc.) identified by IPV experts and the peer reviewed literature as correlating to IPV perpetration. The information collected in this study is not intended to be generalizable to the population. Rather, these data are intended to inform future research with additional populations and more rigorous sampling strategies.
